Commissioner's message
I am pleased to present the 2018?2019 Annual Report for the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC)--my frst as Commissioner.
As this annual report shows, the FCAC is home to a dedicated team whose hard work and talents have produced impressive results. In 2018-19, those eforts were led by my predecessor, Lucie Tedesco, whose vision and energy ably guided the Agency from 2013-2019. We thank Commissioner Tedesco for her leadership and contributions, which enabled FCAC to raise the bar in protecting and educating fnancial consumers through a wide range of innovative and strategic activities.
The year also marked an important and exciting phase in FCAC's evolution as a regulator and national fnancial literacy leader. In the fall of 2018, the federal government tabled a bill with provisions to modernize the fnancial consumer protection framework in the Bank Act, strengthen the Agency's mandate and grant it additional powers. With the passage of this bill into law in December 2018, we are more aligned with other regulators in Canada and abroad, and our fnancial literacy role is integrated into the purpose clause of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada Act. As a result, we are better positioned to fulfl our mandate to protect consumers of fnancial services and products.
The Agency's new Supervision Framework, which came into efect in October 2018, is an example of this evolution. The framework will enable us to be more proactive in monitoring regulated institutions, and will help us to better understand and address emerging risks.
FCAC's strengthened mandate will also help to advance our work on consumer education and fnancial literacy, as well as our eforts to enhance public awareness of critical consumer issues. As such, we can look forward to building on the solid foundation of market studies, industry reviews and opinion research FCAC has created to date, as well as continuing to contribute to the growing body of evidence from which more efective policies and initiatives can be developed for the beneft of Canadians.
This past year, the Agency also continued to forge strong relationships with its many stakeholders and regulatory counterparts in Canada and internationally, through committees and networks that represent a wide range of organizations from the public, private and voluntary sectors. As demonstrated in this annual report, the Agency benefts greatly from such engagements that bring together the expertise, passion and talent of academics, fnancial literacy experts and industry representatives, among others, and I am committed to fostering and expanding our exceptional portfolio of collaboration and innovation.
The Agency's strong performance during 2018?2019 was supported by a focus on the renewal and enhancement of our internal services, including a dedicated and strengthened human resources team, and the addition of expertise and capacity to our fnance and operations teams. This investment has already generated dividends in improving our workplace efectiveness, and will contribute to the long-term success of the Agency.
I encourage all Canadians to read this report to learn more about the Agency's ongoing eforts to protect their fnancial rights and interests.
